STILL.

Application filed April 7, 1922. Serial No. 550,342,

e To all whom it may concern:

'.'Be it known that 1, MA): 3. Dn BAJLIG- Erin, citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Houston, in the county of Harris and State of Texas,have invented certain new and-useful Improvements in a Still, of whichthe following is a specification.

' This invention relatesto new and useful improvements in a still.

O ne object of the invention is to provide a still specially designedfor use in the dis 7 tillation' of hydrocarbon oils and whereby theelements of low gravity may be sepa- -rated from the heavier elements.

Another object of the invention is to provide a still of the characterdescribed which is of very simple construction and may be,

/ cheaply andeasily manufactured and which will be very-eilective inentracting from the hydrocarboyr'oils a high percentage of the lowgravity elements.

Withthe above and other objects in View the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, operation andarrangement of parts, an example of which-is given in this specificationand illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

wherein v Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view of the still shownpartially in section and,- Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view.

, Referring now more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 1designates a boiler under which there is a furnace 2. The boiler isfilled with hydrocarbon oils through the inlet line 3 which iscontrolled by the valve 4. The numeral 5 designates a vat in which thereis the condensing coils 6 which dis charge the distillate into asuitable receiving tank 7. The vat 5 is preferably filled with water tokeep the coil cool so as to cause condensation therein.

The boiler 1, on eachside is formed with relatively high cylindricaldomes 8, 8 one at' each end. These domes have the central vflueconnects, said pipe leadin "Within the domes 8 there are the verticaldisc like inverted conical shaped perforated bafiies 16 spaced apartjThese bellies are an chored at their outer edges to the domes 8 co andat their inner edges to the lines 9 and opposite each baiile there issecured around each dome the annular radiating plates 17. 'lhese platesradiate the heat and keep the balilcs l6 comparatively cool. The fluidin as the boiler is kept'at a high degree. of temperature and thelighter elements are constantly being given off and pass up through theperforated baliles and enter the upper ends of the fines 9 and then passdownto wardly through said lines and through the pipes 11 and 13 intothe dome 12 and thenceout through the line 14a into the coil 6, wherethey are condensed and through which they enter the receptacle 7. Theva- "IE5 pors passing through the pipe 11, which is very hot, arefurther broken down, thus facilitating the process of distillation. Theheavier particles are arrested by the bafiies '16 and drop back into theboiler to be a sin $6 broken up by the heat thereimvthe ligr terelements constantly passing up through the domes 8 and the heavierelements being arrested and dropping back into the boiler.

A very high percentage of the hydrocarbon ea oil in the boiler is thusdistilled and the lighter elements are extracted therefrom. What I claimis 1. An oil cracking still including a boiler,

a dome upstanding therefrom and whose upper end is closed, a flue withinsaid dome secured at its upper end to the closed end of the dome andwhose up or end is provided with an inlet and w ose lower end extendsdown into said boilena pipe within as the boiler, normally submerged inthe fluid therein, into which the "lower end oi? the outside of theboiler, a plurality of bailies etween said flue and dome andheatradiating members rec carried by the periphery of the dome.

2. An oil cracking still including a boiler, a dome upstanding therefromwhose upper end is closed, a flue within said dome having an inletopening, baffles between the flue an dome, heat radiators carried by theperiphery of the dome, and a conduit ,passing through the boiler withwhich the flue con-l nects.

\ 3. An oil cracking still for oil'and the like including a boiler, adome having an inlet opening upstanding therefrom, a flue within saiddome and foraminateci bsfiiss surrounding said flue in said dome.

4. An oil cracking still for oil and the like including a boiler, a domehaving an inlet opening upstanding ihersfrom, fins Within said dome, andperiphsmi best radiutors carrieci by said; dome.

5, An oil cracking still inc-lasing 5;, miles, a plurality of domes,upstanding therefrom whose upper emis are dosed, fiuss within said domeseach having inlet opening, an outlet conduit within ms boiler connectedto said fines, a condensing soil outsiais of the boiier in which saidouiielfi terminates, foi'aminatsd baiiies around the flues within thedomes and psiipiiel'si, has;
